Outraged, he caricatures her in his cato-rama as a snobby imbecile. They meet to fence and soon mend fences. Admittedly, Guardino is a palpable charmer and could probably break the social ice at the North Pole. Sporting bar-buddy camaraderie with Sam's poker-playing pals, Bacall romps through One of the Boys. Inexplicably, inevitably, the pair weds, spats, splits and reknits - how old-hat can you hope...

Roscoe ("Fatty") Arbuckle is presented as a guileless clown who became a national symbol of infamy before he could grasp what was happening to him. Rudolph Valentino is convincingly portrayed as a modest, good-natured charmer whose gifts are unjustly neglected by modern audiences. In Brownlow's account, Leading Man John Gilbert's career was not destroyed by his allegedly high-pitched voice but by the soupy dialogue of his first sound movies...
